Japanese Kokedama: An Artful Way to Connect with Nature
Kokedama, meaning “moss ball” in Japanese, is a unique type of bonsai that captures the essence of Japanese aesthetics and the beauty of nature in its purest form. Rooted in Japanese culture, this art form represents a deep appreciation for nature, where each moss-covered sphere becomes a miniature landscape, connecting us to the earth in a simple, elegant way.
Through kokedama, we invite nature into our homes and hearts, allowing us to connect with the calming presence of green moss and plants. It’s more than just decoration—kokedama is a piece of living art that celebrates Japanese cultural values and inspires a mindful appreciation of nature.
Take part in a kokedama workshop at ikebana artist Azumi’s studio in South Yarra, a space crafted for peaceful reflection and creative growth. In this serene environment, you’ll learn the basics of kokedama, guided by Azumi, who will introduce you to the essentials and help you create your own natural work of art. Small group settings encourage idea-sharing and allow you to design at your own pace. Join us to experience this meditative and rewarding practice, and let nature inspire you.
